200 Years of Transport Textiles: An Interview with Paul Marchant, Head of Product Design, TfL

As we continue to tell the story of our 200 years of heritage, we're taking a look at one of our longest and most successful partnerships - Transport for London.

Working together through the decades, the relationship between Camira and TfL has seen the launch of a number of textiles now ensconced in the transport hall of fame, including those by Edith Marx, Marianne Straub, and, most recently, Wallace Sewell (the name behind the fabric featured on the new Elizabeth Line).

Featuring an interview with Paul Marchant - Head of Product Design at TfL - he provides a unique insight into why the world's most iconic transport operator has such an enduring love of Camira moquette; from its impressive flame retardancy and innate durability to its timeless aesthetics, he takes us through the reasons why it remains a beloved feature of the city of London after all these years.
